Creating Amazon Redshift steps

Connect to your Redshift integration from Superblocks by creating steps in Application APIs, Workflows and Scheduled Jobs. You can configure a Superblocks Redshift integration with read only, read/write, or write only users. You can then configure a Superblocks Redshift step to read from a database, as well as modify/delete data. To get started, enter your SQL query into the text area of the Redshift step. Then click “Run” to see the Result and Executed SQL statement below.
Superblocks also supports connecting to AWS services with Boto3 in Python steps if you require additional functionality.
